Chapter 268: Iron-fisted Suppression (15)

Li Xun continued to stand still, and actively built city defenses, making a posture of stubbornly defending the battle.

Li Xun's actions on this side soon spread to Wuzhuo County, several religious leaders, when they heard the news, immediately gave birth to contempt, thinking that Li Xun, the governor of Wuzhou, was just like that, and it was rumored outside that this person was very young, in his early twenties, and he could be the governor of Wuzhou, completely relying on the help of his aunt and aunt, and he had no talent, just a mediocre talent, so it seems that the rumors are true.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

At dusk.

14,000 soldiers are all assembled, the armor is distinct, the swords and guns are numerous, especially the five thousand Anbei cavalry under Wang Long, all black armor and red helmets, each soldier is equipped with a longbow and twenty arrow feathers in addition to the weapon, and the horse charges into battle, dismounts the longbow and shoots from a distance, and the combat power is comprehensive, the world often says that the elite of the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty are all in Anbei, which is not a complete exaggeration.

"Leave 2,000 men in the area?"

Li Xun glanced at the five thousand cavalry on Wang Long's side a few more times, and there was an unconcealed envy on his face, if he could have such an elite army in his hands, how good it would be, but unfortunately he could only think about it, training such a force requires too many things to be combined, and Wuzhou does not have these at present.

Shan Qiu shook his head and said: "If we are defeated, it will be useless to leave two thousand people here, Li Xun, the decisive battle is imminent, and it is a big taboo to retreat." ”

Li Xun nodded, this war is the first time he has led an independent army in the real sense, and he is not nervous, it is impossible, but Shan Qiu is very right, the decisive battle is imminent, as the chief general of the first army, the example of the whole army, if even he has timidity, who still has the heart to die?

Wang Long, Shan Qiu, Zhao Wei, Zheng Chun and all other generals looked at Li Xun.

Li Xun closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened his eyes again, except for resoluteness and resoluteness, there was no emotion.

"The whole army is leaving."

Li Xun waved his hand sharply and gave the order to set off.

Li Xun and the others, the marching speed was not fast, an hour, it was more than thirty miles, and at this time, the sky was completely dark.

Several scouts came at a rapid gallop from a distance, and when they got closer, one of the scouts turned over and dismounted, half-knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Governor, the last general has found out the opponent's position." ”

"Come on."

Li Xun was shocked and hurriedly asked.

The scout got up and arched his hand, "Dudu, the other party is about twenty-five miles away from us, and now he has stopped moving forward and is making a fire for cooking. ”

Shan Qiu interjected and asked, "Do they have any defenses?" ”

The scout shook his head and said, "No, the black pressure is overwhelming, chaotic, the team is scattered, the last general observed for a while, and did not see that the other party has arranged defensive facilities." ”

"God help me."

Li Xun's face suddenly had a joy that could not be concealed, the nearby terrain was flat, extremely suitable for cavalry impact, the other party did not have any defensive measures, hit him with a surprise attack, with the military quality of the mob, I am afraid that he would be defeated in a battle, and he could not organize any resistance at all.

Li Xun glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "How to fight this battle?" ”

It is impossible for everyone to rush over all at once, some specific details of the arrangement, Li Xun does not understand, and he is also self-aware, and he did not command indiscriminately because of any so-called face, but asked everyone's opinions, there are so many generals around him who can fight well, what do you spend that effort on?

Shan Qiu was the first to speak: "We have 9,000 cavalry, I suggest dividing it into two parts, General Wang Long leads the headquarters of 5,000 cavalry, from the frontal impact, General Yuanhe leads 3,000 cavalry, around the back, front and back flank, 5,000 infantry, divided to both sides, encircling the fleeing enemy, Li Xun leads 1,000 cavalry, sitting in the rear, observing the battle situation, and adapting to changes." ”

"Yes."

"Besieged from all sides, messing up their fighting spirit, it's good."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Wang Lung grinned and said: "Frontal impact, this old man likes it, so it's decided." ”

Li Xun frowned, he didn't want to hide in the rear, but since everyone had agreed, he didn't know what to say, so he nodded: "Pass my general's order, the whole army will speed up, and you will lead your own troops and horses and act according to the plan." ”

"Yes!"

The crowd surrendered their orders.

For this decisive battle, both sides are fully prepared, but on Li Xun's side, the personnel, equipment, and strategies are all after repeated consideration and discussion, and the plan of everyone lies in the battle, while the mob's side is just relying on a breath of heart and fighting spirit, and the others do not make any considerations, who is higher and who is low, with a little thought, you can know.

Yuan He led 3,000 cavalry and left quickly, Zhao Wei and Zheng Chun each led 2,500 infantry, accelerated their pace, and went to both sides, while Li Xun and others were still moving slowly, they wanted to maintain their physical strength, and secondly, they had to wait for 5,000 infantry and Yuan and 3,000 cavalry to be in place to form a complete encirclement, and at that time, the war would officially start.

Ten miles away from the mob camp, on several connected hills, Li Xun and other 6,000 cavalrymen stopped here, waiting for news from Yuan He and others.

Two hours passed, it was late at night, and when the scouts came with the news that Yuanhe and the others were all in place, Li Xun immediately issued an order for the whole army to attack.

The endless night, the silent killing machine is approaching rapidly, the vast majority of the mob, including the six leaders who led them, are asleep, many people, may still be dreaming, doing a duel with Li Xun tomorrow, winning the battle, and even gaining control of the entire Wuzhou, but the dream is just a dream after all, and there is no possibility of realizing it.

Among the mob, in fact, the vast majority of people are unarmed, with weapons and sticks? A sharpened long stick? There are also many old and weak women and children, who are accompanying their families, and they don't have any combat effectiveness, but Li Xun can't manage so much, war is cruel, and it is even more ruthless, the victory or defeat of a war, the defeated side, often has to pay too much death.

Although Wang Lung is old, but the courage of the heart, the slightest decrease, leading 300 personal soldiers, the front of the charge, soon led 5,000 cavalry, into the mob camp, whether you have weapons in your hands or not, whether it is the elderly, women and children, or young children, as long as it is within the range of the cavalry, they are all brutally killed.

There were more than 100,000 people in the mob, scattered in the flat wilderness within a radius of several miles, Wang Lung's five thousand cavalry, all the way to kill, did not encounter any resistance at all, just a moment, it was already the middle of the mob, there, is the core of the entire mob camp, and it was here, Wang Lung finally encountered some resistance, eight thousand young men with weapons and rudimentary armor, formed a defense, and began to fight back desperately.
